Pay Super negative amount

Hi HoneySandra,

I can see why you’d want to be sure how those reversal lines behave in the Pay Super window.

The software will generally only send positive super amounts to the fund; therefore, the safest approach is to process Pay Super for the correct positive super owing now and ignore the reversal pair.

If your file allows it, you can also run a separate Pay Super run for the original (incorrect) super and its matching reversal, so the total of that run is $0.00. That simply clears them off the list, no money is actually sent because the batch nets to zero.

Either way, the key is:

• First, process the batch that pays the correct super amounts without any errors, and
• Don’t try to send a true negative amount to the fund.

Thanks for that, I will pay the super without ticking the reversal pair.

However, if I later do a separate super run as you suggested with the reversal pair, do I still run the risk of the positive amount going to the super fund, even though the net balance of these transactions is zero? How can I be sure that MYOB won't send the positive amount (as you've alluded to) and then I have a bigger problem? Is there another way to cancel these amounts out, is it something that MYOB is working on by any chance to counter these issues?

Because there would be a lot of payroll reversals happening on a regular basis and these super amounts and the reversals will be all just sitting there in our databases.

Thank you

Hey HoneySandra,

We actually have this idea post already in play to hide negative super payments in the Manage Payments window, and it’s sitting in our developer backlog. The best way to give it more traction is to pop over and vote on it, because without those votes it’s harder to push it up the priority list.

Cheers,
